"[Flynn] has promised full cooperation to the Mueller team, he is prepared to testify, we are told by a confidante, against President Trump, against members of the Trump family and others in the White House. He is prepared to testify that President Trump, as a candidate, Donald Trump, ordered him, directed him to make contact with the Russians, which contradicts all that Donald Trump has said at this point. As well we’re told that Flynn made the decision to cooperate only in the last 24 hours.” -Brian Ross, ABC News

EDIT: ABC later retracted this saying that their information is that trump ordered the contacts as president-elect, not as a candidate (not that that’s okay either, given the nature of the contacts and all the lying about them). as far as i can tell that doesn’t rule out him doing it as a candidate, just that that’s not the scoop they had. or maybe their source got cold feet after the fact? it’s murky.

New York Times reporters analyze prepared remarks by James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, that were published Wednesday by the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Comey’s written statement (submitted before his in person testimony today). Includes some notes and links to background information on the key issues. A good primer for anyone who hasn’t followed or hasn’t been able to follow the story closely as it came out.

Russian Trolls Ran Wild On Tumblr And The Company Refuses To Say Anything About It

Tumblrs run by Russian trolls generated hundreds of thousands of interactions with anti–Hillary Clinton, pro–Bernie Sanders content.

Russian trolls posed as black activists on Tumblr and generated hundreds of thousands of interactions for content that ranged from calling Hillary Clinton a “monster” to supporting Bernie Sanders and decrying racial injustice and police violence in the US, according to new findings from researcher Jonathan Albright and BuzzFeed News.

While Facebook and Twitter continue to face intense public and congressional pressure over the activity from trolls working for the Russian Internet Research Agency, Tumblr has somehow managed to escape scrutiny. But the blogging platform was in fact home to a powerful, largely unrevealed network of Russian trolls focused on black issues and activism.

“The evidence we've collected shows a highly engaged and far-reaching Tumblr propaganda-op targeting mostly teenage and twenty-something African Americans. This appears to have been part of an ongoing campaign since early 2015,” said Albright, research director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University.

Tumblr and its parent company, Oath, did not reply to multiple emails with questions from BuzzFeed News. Despite not responding, tracking software shows the emails were opened more than 290 times, and the included links were clicked more than 70 times.
